They are working on a scheduled maintenance to replace the server. They have serious lag in the past weeks.
uh, houston, we have a problem -- 2 deposits now and both were "doubled" the actual amount -- did a test and tried to sell the coins and guess what?
anyway, just deposited some more coins to cover the margin
Centralized systems are always reversible, I think there is no exception. The reason I feel safe about using Alipay is that they are way too large to notice the Bitcoin economy growing on it, even if they crack down on one exchange people can always switch to something else, we have been buying VPNs for circumventing GFW after years of government prohibition hardly with any problem.I am actually more worried about an exchange default atm.
that's really good to know -- i tried to get an alipay account last year, but it didn't work out for me (don't know why) -- will try again during my next trip
-------------------
i'm going to be watching this like a hawk -- from what i am seeing now, i can't for the life of my see why bitcoins wouldn't just blow up in china -- all the pieces are there; and i'd like to do my part to see it happen
